It reflects the degree of the zodiac sign which is rising on the Easternhorizon at the moment of birth. This degree changes on average every fourminutes, with a new sign rising on the horizon every two hours on average.(There are 30 degrees in a sign). Certain signs rise faster than othersdepending on how close one is to the North or South Pole. In the NorthernHemisphere Aquarius, Pisces, Aries and Taurus rise fast, and in the Southernhemisphere the opposite signs, Leo, Virgo, Libra and Scorpio rise fast, as aresult of the angle at which the Earth revolves on its axis. The Ascendantdegree varies depending on the actual place of birth - it is specificallydependant on the latitude of birth, whereas the
Midheaven
is dependant on longitude. Because the Ascendant is connected with the rotationof the Earth on its axis - and has nothing to do with the planets - it showshow character (planetary influence) is manifested in a practical way on Earth.It shows the life path, or the actual role of the personality on Earth. It isthe physical manifestation of personal fate through earthly matters.
